Chapter 433
In the letter that the bird brought back, Zheng Wang, the commander of the first military situation in Pingjiang City, sent him a piece of information.

The information said two things——

The layout of Fengcheng and Pingjiang City has been properly arranged.

The [-]th and [-]th birthdays of the owner of Zhouzhuang Zhuang, Zhou Dashan.

This second matter had nothing to do with Li Chenan.

But this matter is a big event for the people in Jiang Hu!
Zheng Wang said a few key pieces of information in that intelligence——

One: Chang Baishu, one of the great elders of the Green Gang and the master of Jiangnan martial arts, left with a generous gift.

Second: Heroes from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River also set off before the new year, and they all went to Zhouzhuang to celebrate their birthdays!

Third: This person is very likely to be the chief steward of the Qinjian Villa that was destroyed by Xi Wei's scheme 15 years ago!

Zheng Wang told Li Chenan these news not because he wanted Li Chenan to go in person!

Why does such a terrible thing need the majestic Prince Regent to come in person?
He wants to investigate by himself, sorting out what kind of relationship Zhou Dashan has with the Youth Gang——

The core of the Green Gang is the Fish and Dragon Society!
And Xi Wei was once one of the eight elders of the Ichthyosaur Society!

Fifteen years ago, Qinjian Villa was tricked by Xi Wei, Jiangnan martial arts gathered in Qinjian Villa, and killed Qinjian Villa completely.

It is said that it was for a sword.

Qinjian Villa is good at playing the piano, and even better at casting swords.

For example, those two famous swords all over the world were made by the ancestors of Qinjian Villa hundreds of years ago!
But no one knows what kind of sword Qinjian Villa forged, because after Qinjian Villa was destroyed, hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes dug three feet and failed to find a decent sword.

The sword disappeared, and it seemed that it had never appeared in the rivers and lakes.

The huge Qinjian Villa was destroyed, and now, 15 years later, it is rumored that Zhou Dashan happened to have a peerless sword in his hand...

If he was really the chief steward of Qinjian Villa back then, how did he escape?

Could it be because of his collusion with Xi Wei that those institutions in Qinjian Villa failed and were easily breached by people in Jianghu?
That sword was already in his hand!
Will Xi Wei appear at his [-]th birthday banquet?

Could Zhou Dashan be a member of the Ichthyosaur Society?
Now that the Yulonghui has become the Green Gang, will Xi Wei stand behind the Green Gang?
What is he trying to do with these things?
Zheng Wang needs to investigate it himself.

He never expected that the regent wanted to go and have a look!

Li Chenan really wanted to go and have a look.

These messes in the rivers and lakes are secondary.

It's because the name Zhou Mingfang, the great good man of Zhou, once appeared in the memorials written by Jiangnan Dao.

twice!

One time it was said that last year's autumn grain collection, Zhou Dashan donated 30 taels of silver to the [-] people in Zhouzhuang to offset taxes, and the court should commend it!
The other time it was said that Zhou Dashan spent 50 taels of silver to set up [-] free schools in the whole Guangling Prefecture, and the Imperial College should reward them with encouragement.

Li Chenan felt that he should be commended and encouraged, but Wen Zhuyu denied it.

He says……

This person treacherously betrays his master and seeks glory, he is the second hypocrite in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Chenan asked who was the first?

Wen Zhuyu said... Jiangbei Yi'an Hall!

Well, Li Chenan didn't know about these Jianghu affairs before, but fortunately, the Imperial City Division has recorded them all.

So during those short days in Kyoto, he stayed in the dark building of the Imperial City Division for a longer period of time, and he finally had a vague understanding of the Jianghu. Now he wants to go into the Jianghu and see it with his own eyes. .

"If so many martial arts masters gather, it's not right for you to go!"

Out of safety considerations, Amu looked at Li Chenan, and said very seriously: "Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity of those people in the rivers and lakes to go to Zhouzhuang, and let's go directly to Pingjiang City, it might be better!"

After all, temples are different from rivers and lakes.

After all, this guy is the regent of Ningguo!

After all, there is some order in the temple, but the rivers and lakes are in chaos.

What if his identity was found out by those people in the rivers and lakes, what if those so-called knights who roamed the rivers and lakes with their heads in their hands drowned him in the rivers and lakes, it was not just a problem of not being able to explain to anyone.

This is likely to cause chaos in Ningguo!

Li Chenan shook his head, and grinned: "We have Xiao Wu's poison, and we also have a few fireworks, don't be afraid!"

"Besides, let's just go and have a look."

"I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch!"

Xiao Baozi turned his head and looked at Li Chenan, "What's the fun?"

"This Zhou Dashan has hidden the sword for more than ten years, and now he suddenly wants to take it out and give it to the world's martial arts heroes... This may have other intentions."

"Also, I really want to see where this good man Zhou got so much money."

"Zhouzhuang has more than 1 hectares of land, almost all of which are under his name now."

"There are more than [-] farmers in Zhouzhuang, with a population of about [-]. Most of them are tenants of his family!"

"During the 11th and [-]th years of Zhaohua, there was a continuous severe drought in Jiangnan Road, among which Chinan County in Mingzhou was the most severe."

"Zhouzhuang is in Chinan County!"

"In those two years, Zhouzhuang's tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land had no harvest."

"In the spring of the 11th year of Zhaohua, a nobleman in the palace went to Jiangnan once!"

"Afterwards, this good man Zhou took all the farmland in Zhouzhuang into his pocket, and took out more than three million taels of Wenyin at one time!"

Li Chenan took a chopstick dish, took a sip of the fake Huapingchun, and raised his eyebrows: "This Zhou Dashan, where did he get so much money?"

"Not only did he become a big landlord in Chinan County, his reputation in the Jianghu also suddenly became loud after 11 years in Zhaohua."

"It's not his martial arts. The Imperial City Secretary doesn't know whether his martial arts are good or not. It's that many martial arts sects have almost received his support in the past ten years."

"Those people in the rivers and lakes are so poor! He has a purpose to make good friends!"

"So when he celebrates his birthday, there will be so many Jianghu sects sending people to congratulate him... It's reasonable."

Xiao Baozi asked: "Then shall we prepare some presents?"

Li Chenan smiled: "Someone has already prepared a gift."

"what gift?"

"A coffin!"

Xiao Baozi and the others were startled:
"...Who prepared it?"

"A 16-year-old boy. His surname is Qin. I don't know his surname. Yan Jidao said he was called Xiaoqin.!"

"The owner of Qinjian Villa is named Qin."

"He came from outside the customs. He set off in October last year, but he was carrying a coffin. He didn't walk fast, but he should have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River by now."

Baozi Xiao and the others were taken aback, and Amu asked, "Is he here to seek revenge on that Zhou Dashan? Does Zhou Dashan know his identity?"

Li Chenan shook his head: "Except for Yan Jidao, no one in the world knows his identity, and no one knows why he came here with a coffin on his back."

"But the news that the descendants of Qinjian Villa came out to avenge their family's destruction has already been released."

"That's why Zhou Dashan invited the world's martial arts heroes to celebrate his birthday on the grounds of appreciating swords. His purpose...is to gather the hands of everyone to get rid of the descendants of Qinjian Villa."

Amu asked again: "Is he a disciple of Yan Jidao?"

"Correct."

"Will Yan Jidao also come to Zhouzhuang?"

"No, but another female disciple of his may come."

"Who?"

"Wen Xiaowan!"

……

……

Kyoto.

The old prime minister's mansion.

Warmly brewing tea in the rain and snow, Yan Jidao looked at the vast snow outside the gazebo.

"That child's talent is extremely high, if it's broken...it's a pity!"

Wen Zhuyu raised his eyes and looked at Yan Jidao's back, "I don't worry about my daughter Xiaowan being in Zhouzhuang, so why worry about Xiaoqin?"

"...Sometimes I think you and Xi Wei are fellow travelers."

Wen Zhuyu smiled slightly and poured tea, "No, senior brother can do whatever it takes, but I won't."

Yan Jidao turned around and looked at Wen Zhuyu, "So they won't be in danger?"

"The regent will go, do you want to go and see?"

Wen Zhuyu was startled, his eyes narrowed, he drank the cup of tea, took a deep look at Wen Zhuyu, and didn't say another word.

He unfolded his figure and disappeared into the wind and snow.
